New York Wave

Those of you in Japan: do check out NHK TV's program NEW YORK WAVE for a special mini-documentary on yours truly...airing in early February. They filmed my book release party at Giant Robot, and last week they were here in mi casa for a special bento "party" with friends (whose charaben skills were in full effect - no joke, it was really amazing stuff). NHK also documented the creation of a bento of mine from scratch. Pics to come (once the show airs), but here is a preview sketch of my Desnos as Maneki Neko, um... Bento!

WHAT IS THIS BLOG ABOUT?

Food shaped like things...other than food! A bit of an obsession of mine - I've made two books about Japanese character bentos (charaben). Consider this an online, ever-expanding companion to Face Food Recipes and Face Food: The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes, both released by Mark Batty Publisher.
